y=ax is a line that goes through the origin. If a is negative the left side is up. If it is zero it is level. If it is positive the right side is up.

Can the graph of an absolute value be negative?
No.
What do you call a V-shape on a graph?
That is a result of an absolute value equation. So an Absolute Value Graph

What is the corner point of a graph of an absolute value equation?
It is sometimes the point where the value inside the absolute function is zero.
What is a positive and negative value for M in the formula y equals Mx plus B?
The formula y=Mx + B is the slope intercept equation of a line. If you where to graph this on a 2 dimensional graph with x and y axes the number represented by M would be the slope of the line. A positive value of M would mean a positive slope and the line will rise as one views it from left to right. A negative value of M would indicate a negative slope and the line will descend as one views it from left to right. A value of zero for M would indicate a horizontal line.
Why use slopes?
The slope of a graph provides general information about a graph. It tells you how much the y value of the graph increases (or decreases, if the slope is negative) for a given increase in x value. if you look at the general equation of a graph y = a x + b the value "a" represents the slope and the "b" value represents the value of y when x = 0. When the graph is not a straight line, the discussion gets more complicated, however the slope still describes changes in the value of the graph (you have to use calculus for this situation.)
How do you determine if the graph of a quadratic function has a min or max from its equation?
If x2 is negative it will have a maximum value If x2 is positive it will have a minimum value
The equation y equals ax describes the graph of a line If the value of a is positive the line?
goes through the origin, up and to the right
Can the graph of an absolute value be negative?
No.
What is an negative slope?
A negative slope is a slope occurs whenever an increase in the x value of the equation of a line causes the y value to decrease. If you're looking at the graph, the line with slope downwards from left to right.

The equation y ax describes the graph of a line If the value of a is positive the line?
Goes from the origin to the North East (up and to the right).
What relationship does a linear graph shows?
A linear graph shows a linear equation in which the value of one variable depends on the value of the other variable.
What is the corner point of the graph of an absolute value equation called?
vertex

How does changing the value of m affect the graph of an equation in the form Y mx plus B?
The graph passes through the point (0, B). Changing the value of m rotates the graph around that point. From left to right, the graph drops rapidly when m is a lery large negative number. The inclination decreases as m becomes a smaller negative number and is horizontal when m = 0. As m increases, the graph becomes increasing steeper upwards.
How can you find coordinates on a line graph?
Select any value for one of the variables in the graph and solve the equation to get the other variable.
